Holland's monstrous first goal + Kovacic net goal

The difference in goal determination between the two team strikers made it all.

Manchester City beat Chelsea 2-0 in the first round of the English Premier League (PL) of the 2024-2025 season at Stampford Bridge in London on the 19th.

The decision was made based on the goal-scoring ability. Manchester City produced a 3-2-4-1 formation on the day. With Erling Holland at the forefront, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardou Silva, Jeremy Doku and Sabiou were the strikers. Matteo Kovacic and Ricoh Luiz maintained the midfield.

The defense consisted of Yosuko Gvardiol, hoobang dias and Manuel Akanji. The goalkeeper's gloves were worn by Ederson.

Chelsea used a 4-2-3-1 formation. Nikola Jackson came out as the front-line striker. Christopher Nkunku, Enso Fernandez and Cole Palmer were responsible for the next attack. Romeo Ravia and Moises Caicedo were placed in the midfield. Levi Colwall, Marc Cucurella, Wesley Fofana and Marlo Custo formed the four-back. Roberto Sanchez defended the goal.


There was a huge gap in skills between the two teams. Holland, who played his 100th match after moving to Manchester City, scored the first goal in the 18th minute of the first half. Holland caught the ball in the center of the penalty box and removed all the checks of Chelsea's two defenders.

In particular, the struggle with Cucurella was overwhelming. He pushed Cucurella out with his monstrous power, but he did not lose his balance. Finishing with the goal, Manchester City led 1-0.

Chelsea Jackson, on the other hand, expressed regret over the move. He got a chance to score as he got a delivery pass from Caicedo at the 35th minute in the first half. However, he managed to set the timing of the shot too late due to his passive play. Manchester City defenders settled down when he tried to hit the shot.

In the 43rd minute of the first half, when Palmer's shot blocked the goalkeeper, Jackson kicked the ball back into the net. However, the score was canceled when the offside was declared.

Kovacic who transferred from Chelsea during the last season sealed the victory for Manchester City. After taking the ball from Chelsea, Kovacic dribbled through the goal and scored a wonder goal with a mid-range shot. Considering his old team, he did not celebrate the goal.

Manchester City topped the Premier League for the last four consecutive years, and this season showed off its enormous power. Notably, Holland, the main striker, has been the top scorer for three consecutive seasons. Holland has set a new record of 36 goals in a single season since his debut season in the Premier League. He also topped the scoring list in the Premier League with 27 goals last season. 에볼루션 바카라사이트
